Help with a Very Large File, on a Large VDisk, On a Bad Sector
I recently took over as the Sys Admin for a small office. I found recently that the scheduled backups for on of our shared disks was failing and we had no other backups of this data. What I found was NTBackup was failing when it accessed a couple
of files on this share.
I would like to run CHKDSK on this Virtual Disk but prefer to have at least one good backup 1st. I tried excluding the files in question in the BKS file but it still references them in the log file and still fails.
Regardless of how I end up getting my backup, this is the question I have:
Is there a way to scan and recover these files w/o running CHKDSK on the entire volume?
System is Windows Server 2003 (Soon to be upgraded!). The VDisk is a 12 TB volume and the files in question are over 250GB each. This volume has many large files in the GB range.
When it is working a backup takes close to 3-days...I suspect a CHKDSK will be similar.
Any Help is Appreciated,
WKCook

Hi Keith,
What type of files cannot be backed up? If they are system files, you could run
sfc /scannow on the server to repair the Windows corrupted system files.
Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files

Hoping for some help with a very frustrating issue!
I have been syncing calendar and contacts on my iPhone 5 and Outlook 2007 using iCloud 2.1.3 (my PC is running Vista). All was well until the events I entered on the phone were showing up in Outlook, but not the other way around. I’ve tried the usual recommended steps: deselecting calendar and contacts in the iCloud control panel and then re-selecting, signing out of the panel and back in, and repairing the Outlook installation in control panel. I even uninstalled iCloud on the PC and downloaded it again (same version).
The furthest I’ve gotten is step 2 (and once, step 3) of 7 while performing “Outlook Setup For iCloud.” At that point I get, “Your setup couldn’t be started because of an unexpected error.” After the first attempt at all this, all my calendar events disappeared from Outlook, although they are still in iCloud calendar and on my phone.
Sound familiar? Any ideas on how to solve this iCloud/Outlook issue? Thanks much in advance!Hoping for some help with a very frustrating issue!

Help with converting a Nero file
I have previously converted a dvd insert designed with Nero into a pdf using adobe acrobat in order to send to someone else. When I tried to do the same thing today with a new Nero designed insert the conversion wouldn't work. The message said adobe didn't support the program that created the file. Any ideas?
thanks for your response.
When I create a dvd insert or cd label etc using Nero the file extension is nct - nero cover template. The printer wants the file as a pdf as he can't open Nero files. I have version 9.3 of acrobat.

Subject: help with converting a Nero file
Nero is simply a CD/DVD burning application and should have no effect on the type of files that will eventually be on the CD/DVD.
What type of files are you trying to convert and exactly how are you trying to convert them? Plus, it would help to know the version of Acrobat you are using.

Help with quality of exported files
The problem: I'm trying to get a good quality, 34 minute movie onto a DVD with chapter markers separating individual short films. This is supposed to be a compilation of 8 family movies, in addition to an introduction and credits at the end. Four movies are old movies made in iMovie and are .m4v files. Four were made in FCE earlier this year. I linked everything together in a Master Sequence, putting pauses in between each with some livetype text files to introduce each video. The m4v files were imported and placed in the master sequence. The others are nested sequences. I put chapter markers at the beginning of each section. My intention was to export this one master sequence as a quick time movie, then put it into iDVD.
It worked, but the quality was horrible! Everything became grainy, even the movies I had previously created in FCE. This was very disappointing. So I expertimented with a few things, and here’s what I found.
When I exported a quicktime movie, the quality degraded. It became grainy. Also, it changed the aspect ratio and stretches everything horizontally, as if to take a standard size screen and stretch it to a widescreen. It did this even with the original movies I had made in FCE. I don’t like building self contained movies using this mode because the file sizes are too big, so when I export I tend to use quick time conversion. In this case, I was hoping a non-self contained movie would merely point to all the original content and not add compression artifacts (or something like that). It turns out it made it worse.
When I tried to export a quicktime conversion, 640x480 VGA, best quality, H.264, the machine couldn’t do it. It ran for an hour or so and then crashed. Twice. That is for the entire movie. When I export individual clips (3-6 minutes) it works. The quality is good for movies made in FCE, not as good for imported m4v movies made long ago in iMovie, but better than what I get exporting quicktime movie files, either self contained or not. This is surprising to me, because I was expecting the export quick time movie command to produce the best quality. Also, I’m concerned that if I was able to create this, iDVD would not see any chapter markers anyway.
So there is a problem either way. Experimenting has led me to discover several questions/issues which need answering:
Issue #1: Why can’t I get a quick time movie of the same quality as what I see on the canvas, using the quick time movie export command? On a side note, the user's manual says something about a settings pop up menu where you can deselect the "recompress all frames" option. I can't seem to find this, and was thinking maybe that would help.
Issue#2: Why do m4v files which are very high quality in iTunes suddenly become poor quality when imported into a sequence? Seems to be an import problem, because the movies are already grainy when they’re on the canvas. I thought about making XML files and importing them that way, but the original project files in iMovie are gone.
Issue #3: Why do I end up with a stretched picture if I export quick time movies and there are mixed aspect ratio contents in the sequence (the m4v files are widescreen, the others are not)? More important, how to I get FCE to not do this?
Issue #4: When I export movies using quick time movie (not conversion), the grainy movies actually look better when played in VLC. They also look good when opened with FCE. How can I get that kind of quality in quick time, or at least in iDVD? Perhaps that would solve my problem.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
EThanks for the response. I’m not fluent with codecs or video compression, so this project quickly became more trouble than I expected.
It turns out the nested sequences are not H.264, the compression field is blank for the nested sequences. I double checked and the other properties are correct. Sorry about that. The other movies, though, (ones built in iMovie for iTunes) are H.264.
These four . m4v movies are in 960x540 and 480 x 272 because of the way they were exported in iMovie (Share -> Export Movie opens a menu with four sizes: Tiny 176 x 144, Mobile 480 x 272, Medium 640 x 360, and Large 960 x 540).
I just imported the final products (what was exported from iMovie) as clips into FCE. Sounds like I should not be doing that. The original media is on my computer, but not the iMovie project files, and for what I’m trying to do it’s just not worth the time to rebuild the movies in FCE.
Bottom Line: Here’s the current status of the project:
All eight of the movies, by themselves, play well in quicktime. I can put all of them on a DVD, and they still play ok. I wanted to string them all together in one sequence, with some transitions in between (creating a “Play All” option on the DVD). That’s why I nested the sequences, and imported the movies made from iMovie, than added chapter markers. Unfortunately, putting these different types of media together and asking the computer to make one sequence is creating a mess. So I’m sticking with Plan B and putting the movies on a DVD without trying to merge them into a single track.
A few follow up questions…
Out of curiosity, when you say “convert everything to QuickTime DV NTSC 720x480 at 29.97fps with 48k audio,” do you mean the original media (all of the bits of video and stills that came from the camera) or the edited sequences I’m currently working with? As a lesson learned, should I be changing properties of clips before importing them to FCE, so the source material has consistent aspect ratios?
The still images, though they are huge, show up with much better quality than the movies (which is expected, and I’m ok with). So I get a product which includes both video and still images, where the images are very sharp and the movie portions are a bit grainy (because they were taken on a small digital camera). If I change the size on the stills, won’t that just bring the still image quality down?
I’m still baffled at why using the export quick time movie command makes a video of lower quality than when using quick time conversion (in other cases as well, not just this project). In every case, I’ve got digital pictures and movies from my digital camera, and some text in FCE or LiveType files on top of that, usually with additional audio tracks. -
Help with working on Word files that were created in Framemaker and saved as PDF
Please help. I was given a pdf from a vendor that they created in Framemaker. The pdf was 2+MB. I saved it as a Word doc so I could delete sections that I don't need for our folks but the file is saving at over 20MB (after I deleted a lot of pages from it). It is so large that I cannot even email it. I've tried to zip it and also convert it back to a pdf and in both cases the file only decreases by a few hundred KB while still leaving it over 20+MB. Any idea how I can work this file to take the sections I need without it creating such a large file size? Thank you. Brian
The contractual requirements between the vendor and your company may be the key. The contract may or may not discuss whether the vendor's permission to modify the material includes an obligation to make the documents usable. "Usable" may be construed to mean providing original files. If the vendor is required to provide originals, they may or may not be required to provide them in a common format, like MS Word, rather than the proprietary FrameMaker format they use. Their providing a PDF may completely satisfy their obligation; your lawyers may be helpful here.

Help with importing PC photo files and then organizing it all in iPhoto
Hi everyone,
I'm relatively new to mac but I am just loving my purchase! I need some serious help with getting all of my photos organized though so I can easily find it for editing in iMovie.
I've accumulated over 10,000 photos stored on my PC which I've since transferred over to my LaCie external drive for my MacBook Pro via a wireless network connecting my PC & Mac. Some of these I've put onto my laptop internal hard drive and those I've imported into the iPhoto library. However, do I need to move the rest of the photos from my LaCie drive into my internal hard drive to import the photos into iPhoto, or can I tell iPhoto to look for the files in the external drive. If so, how do I do that? I know I'll then have to create albums in order to sort them, which I know how to do. Is there any fast way to do it by date? I had it sorted into different file folders by month & year so I could easily find them on my PC and would like to do the same using albums.
I am quickly running out of hard drive space on my laptop which is why I've put most of my photos on the external drive. Once I organize my existing collection, I would like to be able to import new pictures and have it stored on my external drive, not my internal drive. How do I do that?
Any other tips on organizing a massive photo library would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
KarenKaren,
Is there any fast way to do it by date? I had it sorted into different file folders by month & year so I could easily find them on my PC and would like to do the same using albums.
This is where you get to enjoy the power of iPhoto's database. You can change the Sort in the View menu. Check out View > Sort Photos > by Date.
Or, click the little calendar icon near the lower left corner of the iPhoto window. This allows you to filter the library by year, month, week, or date. You can Command-click to add another date to your filter. You can Option-click to choose a recurring date: you get that month or date for all years in your library. [Want to see your kid's birthday for every year? Just Option-Click that date. Cool.]
The keywords filter is similar. There is a preference setting where you choose to filter based on ALL keywords chosen (where by choosing more keywords you narrow your field) or ANY keyword (where the more keywords you choose, the larger your field will be). Click on a keyword to filter your library by all photos containing that keyword. Use Command-click to add more keywords to the filter. A difference is that Option-click will eliminate photos with that keyword from your filter. [You can find all pictures of your kids with your dog but NOT at Halloween.]
You can create Smart Albums to combine the use of dates, keywords, ratings, titles, comments and more. The more information you enter into the database, the more powerful the tools become.
When your task of importing is complete and you are ready to play with iPhoto's features it may help to look at the iPhoto multimedia tutorial. Better organized than trying to read through the Help files, it can help you get acquainted with many of iPhoto's features.
Have fun. -
Need Help with a very simple view transition scenario
Hello All,
I am trying to learn how view transitions work and I am having a very hard time with the sample apps (like transition view app etc)...I need something much more simple at first. Can you please provide me a little guidelines on how to set up this following scenario:
App loads up and shows a title screen with a button that says go. When you click on the go button the title screen fades out and a new view fades in (or slides in, or anything at all).
Right now I have 3 nib files. There is the main one that is called on application start (tied with MainViewController, a subclass of IUViewcontroller just like in the hello world app. After the app loads the app delegate object tells the MainViewController object to load in another view controller object (via addSubview) which is tied with the second nib file; my title screen with the button. When I press the button I was thinking in the IBAction function to tell the MainViewController object to remove (or transition out somehow) the title screen view controller object then add the other view (third nib file in). This is the part I can't get working. Am I on the right track or have a gone hideously astray? Thank you!hi,
i managed to do this for my app. (think i referred to viewTransitions sample code and modified quite a bit)
i can't remember this well cos i did this quite a while back, but i will try to help as much as possible
1) from the appdelegate i initialize a root controller (view controller class)
2) this root controller actually contains two other view controllers, let's call it viewAController and viewBController, for the screens which u are going to toggle in between. and there's also a function, let's call it toggleMenu, which will set the menus to and fro. i copied this whole chunk from the sample code. it actually defines the code on what to do, i.e. if current view is A switch to B and vice versa.
3) inside the controller files, you need to implement the toggleMenu function too, which basically calls the rootController's toggleMenu
4) we also need viewA and viewB files(view class)
5) need to add the .xib files for the respective views and link them up to the controller class. i did not use the .xib files for ui layout though, because of my app's needs. however, it will not work properly without the .xib files.
5) inside the view class of both views, i.e. viewA.m and viewB.m, you need to create a button, that will call the toggleMenu function inside the respective controller class.
it will look something like this:
[Button addTarget:ViewAController action:@selector(toggleMenu:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
so the flow is really button (in view)-> toggleMenu(viewController) -> toggleMenu(rootController)
i'm sorry it sounds pretty hazy, i did this part weeks before and can't really remember. i hope it helps. -

If I return msshrtmi.dll to the bin folder and switch the model and website projects to x64 there is no change
If I switch both to x86 then I get an error Could not load file or assembly 'BekoModel2011' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.
which is the model project - presumably because to run on my x64 machine I need the 64bit version?
I really need to be able to debug and then publish some changes ASAP.
AndrewHi,
Is it true that you're using IIS to host the application? Could you check whether the process is x64 or x86 one via task manager or config in IIS manager?

[New] Help with a VERY simple asterisk program.
Alright...I feel like a complete idiot asking this question..but I'm having such trouble writing this program. The program description is here:
Write a Java application using two for loops to produce the following pattern of asterisks.
I guess I'm really bad at algorithms yeah? Haha...well, any help would be very much appreciated.Hi,
I don't think you don't need to look through any C programming books.
When you have a problem like this, do some thinking about what methods you need to use and what the general structure of the program will be.
You need to print asterisks out to the screen... so you'll need:
System.out.println
System.out.printAnd you already know that you need two loops.
Now you can ask yourself how you might use the print statements with two loops in order to design a basic structure for the program.
You have 8 lines, so you might want a loop that runs through 8 times, one of the lines printed each time.
Within this loop, you need another loop that prints out *'s. This loop could run once for each asterisk, but because there is a different number of asterisks on each line, the number of times this loop runs would be variable.
So a basic structure:
//loop1 that runs 8 times
//loop2 that runs once for each *
print one star
//end loop2
//end loop1The key now is to recognise the difference between print and println. I don't know if you alread know, but System.out.print will print a string without creating a new line at the end, and println will create a new line at the end of the printed string.
Hope that helps. If you have any other problems, post specific questions along with the code you've written and are having trouble with. -
I need help with combining two pdf files together but it won't let me in the latest Acrobat DC?
Hi,
I had two ai files, 11 by 17 on separate pages, and made them into pdf's. When I combine the files, it will let one out of the two files go through. The funny thing is that it will let the larger file go through than the smaller file. The file that went through had been in ai, dropped it into photoshop and put it back into ai again. The file that won't go through is a quote with different text. What should I do? What does pdf/a, pdf/x, pdf/e and preflight mean?
Thank youMake sure neither of the PDF have been secured in some manner like password protection, form rights or forms distribution.
Forms created with live cycle cannot be combined by Acrobat. -
Help with a very simple horizontal Spry menu
Hi,
I’ve always received great help here and I’m sure that if I explain the issue I’m having properly I’ll get some good input.
This is to do with a very simple horizontal Spry menu, there’s no dropdown involved, only a color change on the rollover. The menu items are in a shade of blue, then on the rollover each menu item changes to a shade of red, the font color remains white for both.
What’s mentioned above works flawlessly, the problem I’m having is this … On the rollover when the menu block items turn red, I’m attempting to add a 1px border around the entire block, but when I do the block item seems to want to change its width and height slightly when it’s rolled-over. As I said, without the border it works perfect.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.steve0308 wrote:

You also have to apply the border to the 'a' css selector. If you just apply it to the 'a:hover' css selector then the tab will grow slightly bigger because its adding more width and height to the overall structure. -

to_char(completion_time,'DD-MON')=(select to_char(sysdate,'DD-MON') from dual)
and
archived='YES';
spool off
My Logic:
I am trying to identify the archive files generated every 30 minutes from v$archived_logs. For this, I am using the COMPLETED_TIME column and am comparing the same with SYSDATE.
These files, I am comparing with the files in the archive destination and then am moving them to a different location.
My problem:
When I test the query, it lists out even those outside the timerange. Also, files that are shown as completed in the ARCHIVED columns and are physically present are not identified for at least 45 minutes.
Could one of you please go through the scripts and tell me where I am going wrong?
Any tips in this regard is deeply appreciated.
Thanking You all in advance,
Sriraman.Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
In my production setup, the client's techspecs insist on setting up only 1 archival destination. I did suggest the usage of a second destination, but they do not want it. They did not give me any concrete reason for this. So I have no option but to do this.
It is therefore necessary that we move only those archive files that have been completed and not files being currently used.
That is the reason for this script.
Could you please have a look at it and tell me if I am missing something here?
Regards,
Sriraman -
Hi guys, i have a project to do and Ive chosen hangman. Ive already made the main program , but i need help with the GUI. I havent been taught about GUI in school, so all i know is what i could understand from a book and what ive read on the internet..
First , heres the code of my basic Hangman class:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.Random;
public class Hangman
public void maingame()throws IOException
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(System.in);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
String movies[]={"THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM","TRANSFORMERS","RUSH HOUR 3","THE INSIDE MAN","THE SIMPSONS MOVIE","THE LORD OF THE RINGS","DIE HARD 4.0"};
Random rand = new Random();
char current[]=(movies[rand.nextInt(movies.length)]).toCharArray(); //Convert a random string from movies array into a char array
char actual[]=new char[current.length]; //Store current state of guessed movie
for (int i=0;i<actual.length;i++)
if (isVowel(Character.toUpperCase(current))==true)
actual[i]=current[i];
else if (isSpecialChar(Character.toUpperCase(current[i]))==true)
actual[i]=current[i];
else if (current[i]==' ')
actual[i]='/';
else
actual[i]='_';
String hangman = "HANGMAN";
int turnsleft=7;
StringBuffer guessed=new StringBuffer();
while (turnsleft!=0)
System.out.println("\n\t\t\t\t"+hangman.substring(0,turnsleft)+"\n");
print(actual);
System.out.println("\nEnter your guess");
String inp = br.readLine();
if (inp.length()>1)
System.out.println("You may only enter one character");
else
char guess = inp.charAt(0); //Convert the entered string to char
if ( (hasBeenGuessed(guess,guessed)) == true )
System.out.println("You have already guessed that\nYou have "+turnsleft+" turns left");
else if (guess >= '0' && guess <= '9')
System.out.println("You cannot guess digits.All digits in a movie will will be filled in automatically");
else
guessed.append(guess);
if (isVowel(guess)!=true)
if (isCorrect(guess,turnsleft,current,actual)==true)
if (hasWon(actual,current)==true)
System.out.println();
print(actual);
System.out.println("\nCongratulations!You won!");
System.exit(0);
else
System.out.println("\nCorrect Guess!\nYou have "+turnsleft+" turns left\n");
else
turnsleft--;
System.out.println("Wrong Guess!\nYou have "+turnsleft+" turns left\n");
else if (isVowel(guess)==true)
System.out.println("You cannot guess vowels\nYou have "+turnsleft+" turns left\n");
else
System.out.println("You have already guessed that\nYou have "+turnsleft+" turns left\n");
print(actual);
if (turnsleft==0)
System.out.println("\nYou lose!\nThe movie was: ");
print(current);
System.exit(0);
private boolean isCorrect(char guess,int turnsleft,char current[],char actual[])
int flag=0;
for (int i=0;i<current.length;i++)
if ( Character.toUpperCase(current[i])==Character.toUpperCase(guess) && actual[i]!=guess ) //Check if guess is correct, and make sure it has not already been entered
actual[i]=guess;
flag=1;
else if (Character.toUpperCase(current[i])!=Character.toUpperCase(guess) && i==current.length-1 && flag==0)
return false;
if (flag!=0)
return true;
else
return false;
private boolean hasWon(char actual[],char current[])
char actualspc[]=new char[actual.length];
for (int i=0;i<actual.length;i++)
if (actual[i]=='/')
actualspc[i]=' ';
else
actualspc[i]=actual[i];
for (int i=0;i<actual.length;i++)
if ((Character.toUpperCase(current[i]))==(Character.toUpperCase(actualspc[i])) && i==actual.length-1)
return true;
else if ((Character.toUpperCase(current[i]))==(Character.toUpperCase(actualspc[i])) && i!=actual.length-1)
continue;
else
return false;
return false;
private void print(char arr[])
for (int i=0;i<arr.length;i++)
System.out.print(Character.toUpperCase(arr[i])+" ");
private boolean isVowel(char a)
if (a=='a' || a=='A' || a=='e' || a=='E' || a=='i' || a=='I' || a=='o' || a=='O' || a=='u' || a=='U')
return true;
else
return false;
private boolean isSpecialChar(char a)
//if (a>='a' && a<='z')
//return false;
//else if (a>='A' && a<='z')
//return false;
//else if (a==' ')
//return false;
//else if (a>='0' && a<='9')
//return true;
if (isLetter(a)==true)
return false;
else if (isWhiteSpace(a)==true)
return false;
else if (isDigit(a)==true)
return true;
else
return true;
private boolean hasBeenGuessed(char a,StringBuffer guessed)
for (int i=0;i<guessed.length();i++)
if ( Character.toUpperCase(guessed.charAt(i)) == Character.toUpperCase(a))
return true;
return false;
My first 2 questions are here:
a - Why does isLetter not work, it says cannot resolve symbol - method isLetter(char)... Im guessing even isDigit and isWhiteSpace wont work, so why? If i cant use them ill have to use the commented code, its kind of unprofessional..
b- Isnt there any way i can compare chars ignoring cases besides converting both to one case, like im doing now?
Heres the new HangmanGUI class i made, it doesnt necessarily have to be a different class in the final outcome, but i would prefer it if it can.. Ive made what i can figure out.. Ive commented about what i need to do.
Keep in mind i cant use Applets, only Frame/JFrame
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class HangmanGUI extends JFrame implements ActionListener
Button newGame = new Button("New Game");
Button entGuess = new Button("Submit Guess");
Button giveUp = new Button("Give Up");
TextField input = new TextField("",1);
Label hangman = new Label("HANGMAN");
JPanel play = new JPanel();
JPanel hang = new Jpanel();
GridLayout playLayout = new GridLayout(2,4);
public HangmanGUI()
play.setLayout(playLayout);
play.add(hangman+"\n");
play.add(newGame);
play.add(giveUp);
play.add(input);
play.add(entGuess);
hang.add(hangman);
getContentPane().add(play);
getContentPane().add(hang);
public void ActionPerformed(ActionEvent act)
Object src = act.getSource();
if (src==newGame)
main(); //Calling main to restart program - will that work?
//if (src==entGuess)
//Need to submit the guess, while input is not empty to Hangman class
//if (src==giveUp)
//Need to go into the losing part of Hangman class
}As you can see i need help with:
a - How to complete the other ifs
b - How to really use the data of my Hangman class in this class and combine the GUI and backend to make a nice GUI Hangman app
c - btw, right now if i try to compile HangmanGUI it highlights the implements ActionListener line and says cannot resolve symbol - class ActionListener..
Any help would be greatly appreciatedThanks for the explanation pete...
Anyways, i started implementing my code within abillconsl's code, and im trying to assign a label to a char array using .toString(); but instead of whats in the char array i get [C@<numbers and digits> ..
Whats wrong?
